A Personal
Response to the Classic Logo Argument
This article contains Gary's response to educators who wish to return to
the days of less powerful versions of Logo. A review of MicroWorlds 2.0
is included. This article was written for The Logo Update and may appear
there in the future. The article that inspired my response is available here.

StarLogoby
Mitchel Resnick is a programmable modeling environment for
exploring the behaviors of decentralized systems, such as bird
flocks, traffic jams, and ant colonies. It is designed especially
for use by students. StarLogo is designed to help students
(as well as researchers) develop new ways of thinking about
and understanding decentralized systems. StarLogo is particularly
well-suited for Artificial Life projects. Mitchel Resnick's
book about StarLogo, "Turtles,
Termites, and Traffice Jams: Explorations in Massively Parallel
MicroWorlds," may be purchased here.

Exploring
Emergence is a dynamic paper written by Brian Silverman
and Mitchell Resnick designed to demonstrate issues associated
with cellular automata and artificial life. It is an evocative
model of how text can be brought to life on the WWW. You
need a Java-enabled browser, such as Netscape
Navigator 3.0, to interact with the examples.
